THE REUNIONS

Mr.. George Jepson, Sheriff Foulke,
and the editor of THE CHRONICLE were
among those from these parts Who at
tended the annual reunion of the Nine
ty-eighth Ohio infantry (and other regi-
mental organizations) at Uhrichsville,
last week. 1t is estimated that 1900
people were there on Thursday. Mr..
Jepson was elected President of the
Ninety-eighth organization, and it was
resolved that the next reunion shall
be held at st. Clairsville some time next
autumn, the date to be fixed by the off.
GERS.
Come on, Old Chickamaugal More
than three hundred men who marched
and fought under your colors went out
from this county. Company B was re-
cruited in this town, and its old com
mander is here yet to welcome you.
Our people will give you a warm wei
come.
THE FIFTEENTH INFANTRY
held Its reunion at Mansfield. Hon &.
Lorenzo Danford. Hon. Samuel Hilles,
and Commissioner Cope were among
those in attendance, and it is said the
former was compelled to make four
speeches. Senator Sherman also spoke
to 'the boys" 1t was voted to hold the
next reunion at st. CIairsville.
The Fifteenth was almost Belmont
county regiment Companies E, F, and
K, and part of G, were recruited in
this county. Its Colonel
Frank Askew, now of Kansas City
was an old-time st. Clairsville boy-a
superb soldier. loved and respected BY
ali our people.
Around this splendid organization
cluster recollectiODs of Shiloh, Stone
River, Mission Ridge, Chickamsuga.
Franklin, and Nashville, where Hoods
army was annihilated, and of its immOr-
tai leader-GEO. II. THOMAS. ThrOugh>
out the war il was part of the Army
of the Cumberland, inseparably associa

Because the first men that went out
from our town to the war marched and
fought with this regiment-the first
young men of the town killed in battle
Joe Hewetson and Stacy Craft, at Shi-
ioh) were of it-because of its splendid
record. and of pride in its superb com
mander, our town has peculiar affection
for this organization, and its survivors
will meet a warm welcome. OF course, |
Col Askew will be here, upon his ma
tive heath and Capt. Glover, and all
the other "toys," now gray haired men,
while Captains Dsnford ami Carroll are

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Opened up on Monday morning with an
unusually large attendance. All the
teachers heretofore employed were at
their posts, and the start was in every
way encouraging. Colored pupils enter
ed rooms number 1, 2, 8, and 4. None
are yet in the other rooms. Parents
and children of that race, in some in
stances, hesitate and are backward about
taking hand in the new departure, and
hence the attendance of colored children
was lighter at the opening than it will
be as the term advances. No bad blood
was exhibited anywhere that we have
heard of among our adult population,
and reports are that the children be-
haved themselves well.
The total enrolment was 272, as fol-
lows: No. No. 1, "A; No. 2, 81; No. 3,
49; No, 4, 40; No. 5, 4S; No. 6, A.

TRAGEDY AT BRIDGEPORT.

A deplorsble tragedy occurred at
Bridgeport last Thursday evening
While Cleveland and Pittsburgh train
was lying on siding, George G. Buck
ingham, whose home is at New Aexan-
dria, Jefferson county, and pass engel
on the train, went up to man who was
leaning against a window in a drunken
stupor and attempted to arouse him
One Dan Swearingen, of Steubenville
Swearingen was very abusive in biz
language, whereupOn a brother Of Buck
ingham undertook to make peace. and
the parties separated. After a time
Swearingen renewed the quarrel, and
suddenly drawing pistol fired two
shots into Buckingham. The first en-
tered near the temple, the second pierced
his abdomen and cut the smaller intes-
tines and the neck of the bladder.
A brother, sister and brother-in-law "
of Buckingham were on the train Gil
was an excursion to the Wheeling fair
The wounded man was taken to hotel
near by, and DIR. Todd summoned.
SwearingeD was promptly arrested by
Marshall Stuff. OF course the drunken
ruflian knew nothing about it-all was
blank to him.
Esquire Howell, of Bridgeport, took
Mr.. Buckingham's ante -mortem state,
ment. in which he declared he was shot
by Dan Swearingen, aud that there was
no provocation whatever for the shoot
ing.
Swearingen was released on bond OF
$4,000, but was rearrested at Steuben-
vile on Saturday. Hell a stock dealer
living near Steubenville, is in good cir
cumstances, and has borne fair rep.
utation.
Buckingham died Saturday morning
Swearingen was brought from Steul
benville to st. Clairsville on Monday, by
Marshal Stuff. of Bridgeport. He is
having preliminary examination at
Bridgeport to-day wednesday,
Buckingham's reputation was not the
best. He was shot several years ago by
DR.. Will Schooley, of Mt. Pleasant, in an
alteration which took place between
them, and 1t is said was troublesome
ard quarrelsome man when under the
Influence of liquor, but was never known
to carry a deadly weapon.
This is another fearful example OF
the danger and folly of carrying deadly
weapons. A man Is coward who will
do so, and is ready to become an assast
sin and murderer at the slightest prov
Ocation.

WORK upon the new court house is
now going forward without any friction
from any quarter, and the indications
are that some of the rooms will be COM
pleted and ready for occupancy within
month or six weeks. The backward
condition of the work upon the tower
will. however, delay the occupancy of
any part of the building longer. as no
part of it can be safely and conveniently
used while that work is in progress.
